Civil Procedure / Federal State
This SNB Study Course covers New York Bar Syllabus topics:
In personam jurisdiction is the power that a court has over an individual party. It is required whenever a judgment is sought that would impose an obligation on a defendant personally. When such personal jurisdiction exists, the court has the authority to issue a judgment against the party, personally, which can be satisfied by seizure of all of the party’s assets. Such a judgment is entitled to full faith and credit in other states.
There are three general types of personal jurisdiction: (i) in personam jurisdiction, (ii) in rem jurisdiction, and (iii) quasi in rem jurisdiction.
